Many years ago, while a group of us were visiting a small seaside town in Wales, we got dinner from the 'Carousel' fish & chip shop. It faced the fairground, which was probably why they had chosen that name... but unfortunately, they couldn't spell too well. Added to this, the lights on the 'C' had failed, giving:

'arousal'

Somewhere at home I still have photographic evidence...

When you look into the photocopier, the photocopier also looks into you

"Warning - Dog can't hold his liquor" (get it, licker haha... took my sister a year and a half)

"Warning, trespassers will be attacked by a tiger" and below it: "No, we're serious." and below it: "REAL tigers!" It was at some kind of rehabilitation place for tigers that were once pets.

In large letters: "Warning: The edges of this sign are sharp! Do not Touch!" In small letters below that: "Oh, and the bridge is out."

Somewhere on a NC highway: "Bat Cave: exit 1/4m" My sister and I would beg to see Batman (coolest superhero ever) and then ask why Batman needed directions. And how he was going to keep his secret hideout secret if he posted signs.

And the ever popular: "Road wet when raining"... I wish I had gotten a picture.

'I shall sit here quietly by the fire for a bit, and perhaps go out later for a sniff of air. Mind your Ps and Qs, and don't forget that you are supposed to be escaping in secret, and are still on the high-road and not very far from the Shire!' -FOTR

Was that in the mountains, by any chance?When the ex and I, years ago, were moving to CA for his job, we drove. While in the mountains near the northern half of CA, we saw a sign that cautioned "Warning, roads may we bet or slipperry when raining or freezing" We were unable to get a pic, though, because it was at night, andraining, and the road was slick!

It wasn't funny so much as out of place, but today I saw a decorated road sign. I was waiting for the bus, and I looked up and saw a normal white "no turn on red" (or something like that) sign, and someone had taken a marker and drawn a few pretty little decorative swirls in the upper left hand corner. It looked pretty nice, maybe I'll suggest it to my alderman
